My Fjords do not have shoes and my farrier promises me he will tell
me when they need them - they both have excellent hoof walls. We have
very sandy soil around here, and the dryer it gets, generally the looser
the sand gets, so we don

Hi Brigid
Yes, I like the Easyboots. You have to get them to fit really tight. And
the hooves have to be properly trimmed. I do all my own hoofcare, trimming
etc..
In your case I would just wait until you get your horse and do some riding,

I've got some EasyBoots, but rarely use them. The off-the-shelf ones
are sized and shaped for ordinary horse feet, an

Hi Brigid,
Whether or not you use shoes on your fjords depends on the ki

Hi Brigid
We do a bit of trail riding with our fjords and the ground here can be
rocky, even though some of it is quite sandy. And we don't go riding every
day. Our horses go barefoot. My older mare wears down her front feet more
quickly, a

My "drafty Fjord" has "drafty" platter-like feet. I got him in the fall of
1997 - right before our El Nino winter. I left him barefoot throughout that
winter, but, by spring his feet started to splay out and turn up and he was

Hi Jean-
Thanks for the input. Yes, I am eager! In addition to walking many dogs per
day (professional pet sitter) I also ride a bicycle (just around town, not
really in "bike shape" yet : ) and take Shaolin Kenpo and Jujitsu, not to
mention horse riding. I

Hi Marsha-
Thanks for the very helpful info! I will be boarding in Woodside, CA, probably
not too far from you! So the trails may be similar. I will get a farrier

Hi All-
How do you shoe your Fjords? Do their feet have any special needs/problems?
When I become a Fjord owner, we will be mostly trail riding with some arena
riding during training or very rainy days. The horses will likely be ridden
1-2 hours/day. What

Hello list,
I've just read the most recent digest and am curious about the shoeing
of Fjords. Over the last 10+ years we have never shod any of ours, and
didn't think anyone else did either. We ride/drive in parades, trail
ride, ride on asphalt, e
